After successfully gaining a 1st Class BA (honours) degree in Events Management from the Robert Gordon University, I have been working full-time at a local supermarket while I 'up-skill' in order to move in to the world of Digital Marketing. This has included several online courses in subjects such as Social Media Marketing, Public Relations, and Web Development, and I am currently working towards the reputable Professional Diploma in Digital Marketing through the Digital Marketing Institute. I am extremely passionate about working in the Digital Marketing industry and am fully committed and determined to develop the necessary digital skills in order to achieve my goal. I would particularly relish a role working in the music, sport or live events sectors, but am also keen to work in any industry where I can apply my digital marketing skills. I am currently based in Aberdeen, Scotland, but am more than willing to relocate for the right opportunity.
